Now I love the local eateries- Chicken Neckers, Lakeview Restaurant, Chelsea Jo’s and Tavern on the Rail. I admit I haven’t tried Anna Cabana yet even though my email address has been annacabana@mindspring.com since 1994! But sometimes it’s fun to venture outside of your comfort zone, particularly when it turns out so well.
I am talking about our second visit to the Barbeque Exchange in nearby Gordonsville- probably 30-45 minutes from Lake Anna. I love Gordonsville anyway, with it’s mix of quaint old houses and historic downtown and there are a couple of restaurants there but one of the newest is The Barbeque Exchange and well worth the trip! Very laid back and very reasonable with some of the best barbeque and “fixins” we have tried.
Check out their web page at www.BBQEX.com with pictures, menus, and more! We highly recommend their pulled pork although my husband likes the Hog Fire sauce while I prefer the QX Sweet (and spicy). He swears by the beer-battered onion rings and we all like the mac and cheese (creamy and homemade). The cornbread is sweet and moist but don’t take our word for it- try it for yourselves!
P.S They do serve beer and wine and the desserts look incredible. Let me know what you think!
